Pvt. Ollie C. Link
35th Division
died in France
The Anadarko Tribune
March 6, 1919
Among the many noble young men of the United States who
gave their lives for the liberty and humanity of the world
was Private Ollie C. Link, who was born Sept. 3, 1887, in
Linkville, Platte co., Mo. He died in a hospital in France
on Jan. 30, 1919, with bronchial pneumonia. Ollie was among
the first to be called to the front and was in the famous
35th division. He had been fortunate enough to come through
without a wound, but he was gassed and sent to the hospital
for several weeks. He was a member of the Christian church
and a favorite among his associates. He wore in his life
and character the marks of a Christian as proudly and
valiantly as he wore the uniform of the government.
He leaves a wife, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.D. Link
of Cyril, Okla., a brother (Edgar), who is in the 90th
division in France, and a sister. Ollie felt that he had
done his duty in the service of his government and looked
forward to his return to his family and many friends.
